What CD or LP do you keep coming back to for another listening session?

MC352 · Sep 3, 2010

For me, it is Hope Waits, self titled first CD. She just sounds fantastic.
I think she is working on her 2nd release. I hope it's as good as the first.

Old Listener · Sep 6, 2010

For classical music, I often fixate on one work and listen to the same performance or all the performances I have for several days. Then my fixation subsides and I'm back to a more normal listening pattern.

Recently, I was tracking down a CD with Sandor Vegh conducting the Mozart Divertimento K. 251. While I searched, I played performances by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and by Robert Johnson / NY Philomusica. Then I located and bought the Vegh CD, ripped it to Flac files and listened to the files several times. Then I saw some old radio broadcast files of groups playing K. 251 and downloaded them. That kept me going for a few more days. So the fixation was a bit longer lasting than most fixations.

Beethoven's first symphony was an obsession that lasted for almost a year.

In popular music, I played the Joan Morris / William Bolcum CDs of Gershwin, Porter, etc. frequently in past years. Lately, Fats Waller / 'The Joint is Jumpin' gets played frequently.

I've got perhaps 2500 CDs and I like a lot of them so I spread my listening out pretty effectively.

I play that one a lot.

MC352 · Sep 23, 2010

Rory Gallager, I haven't heard his music in a long time.

I think he died several years ago.

DWR · Sep 23, 2010

Yes he passed a while back....I picked up his self titled LP and a promo copy at that!...I'll be playing that one in a little bit here.

DWR · Sep 23, 2010

Man oh man Chuck it was 15 years ago, June 14th 1995......how time flies!!!

I wasn't either until my wife and I went and saw Jackson Browne at the Fox theater in Detroit last weekend. He has been playing with Browne for like 40 years. I just never realized what an excellent guitar player he is, they started the concert with 4 acoustic tunes just him and Browne with guitars and then he played 3 tunes himself and joined the rest of the band later, and excellent solid 3 hour show. So I picked up 4 of his albums today, funny he still has dark hair on the covers, in reality he is all grey now, but like I said one of the best slide players I've heard. I'll let you know how these lps sound in the next few days when I play them.

MC352 · Sep 23, 2010

I have to go digging for some Rory music tonight. Wife won't be home, lights out, gear on, air guitar in hand, volume up to beyond wife acceptable levels!!
Should be fun!

DWR · Sep 23, 2010

LOL ..... I have this self titled album on now it is from 1971.....great album, in great shape too.

Ron Party · Sep 23, 2010

Back in his younger days Rory was known for playing for over 6 hours in concert. 6 HOURS!

Phelonious Ponk · Sep 23, 2010

The list is long, very long. Up there at the often-repeated top are Van Morrison's "It's Too Late To Stop Now," "Astral Weeks" and "Into The Music," Miles' "Kind of Blue" and 'Round About Midnight," Bill Evans "Waltz For Debby," Steve Earle's "Jerusalem" and "The Revolution Starts Now," David Crosby's "If I Could Only Remember My Name," Cannonball Adderly's "Somethin' Else"...the list is very, very long.

David Lindley is a guitar freak! He is best known for his vocal on Jackson Browne's version of "Stay". His first couple of albums with his band, El-Rayo X are worth seeking out...great sonics too!

Always feels good to listen to:

"Face To Face" - Oscar Peterson & Freddie Hubbard
"The Greatest" - Cat Power
"London Calling" - The Clash
"More Fun In the New World" - X
"Direct From LA" - Great Jazz Trio
"One From The Road" - The Kinks
"Tango Zero Hour" - Astor Piazzola
"Elis & Tom" - Elis Regina and Jobim
"Tribalistas" - Marisa Monte
"Bebo & Cigala" - Bebo Valdes & Cigala
"Leaving Wonderland in a Fit of Rage" - Marcy Playground
"Live In London" - Leonard Cohen

DWR · Sep 23, 2010

Jazdoc. 2 of the Lindley albums I picked up today are with El-Rayo X one of them a live album and you are right they are well recorded. I have another question for you guys too. The diamond in the rough that I picked up today is a Japanese import direct to disc recording distributed by Audio Technica, it is a jazz quartet called the Detroit Four, the album is titled Cadillac And Mack. Has anybody heard of this group?? The recording is superb and the music is awfully good too.

Can't get enough of "Six Blade Knife"

Solid, solid debut album and one that gets a lot of plays here. Nice choice.
